A Cornell University fraternity is on a two-year probation after hosting a "pig roast" contest in which new members were encouraged to have sex with as many women as possible without telling them about the competition.

The Zeta Beta Tau game consisted of new fraternity members getting points for having sex with overweight women on campus, according to the New York Post. According to the officials, if members drew a tie in the contest, the victor would be the member who had sex with the woman who weighed the most. Cornell'sfraternity and sorority review board determined the chapter was in violation of policies against hazing and sexually abusive behavior.

Cornell's Interfraternity Council (IFC) President Paul Russell told The Cornell Daily Sun, "The decision about the specific sanctions placed on ZBT was made jointly by administrators and IFC leadership in a review board hearing earlier this year after a hearing and a review of the allegations".
